In this work, we propose a modified solid-state approach for the sustainable preparation of a SrWO4 bifunctional catalyst using thymol–menthol-based natural deep eutectic green solvents (NADESs). Various spectroscopic and morphological techniques analyzed the as-synthesized SrWO4 particles. Acetaminophen (ATP) and metformin (MTF) were selected as the model drug compounds. The electrochemical detection and photocatalytic degradation of ATP and MTF upon ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) light irradiation in the presence of as-prepared SrWO4 particles as an active catalyst are examined. The present study displayed that the proposed catalyst SrWO4 has enhanced catalytic activity in achieving the optimum experimental conditions, and linear ranges of ATP = 0.01–25.90 μM and MTF = 0.01–25.90 μM, a lower limit of detection (LOD) value (ATP = 0.0031 μM and MTF = 0.008 μM), and higher sensitivity toward ATP and MTF determination were obtained. Similarly, the rate constant was found to be k = ATP = 0.0082 min–1 and MTF = 0.0296 min–1 according to the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model, benefitting from the excellent synergistic impact of the SrWO4 catalyst toward the photocatalytic degradation of the drug molecule. Hence, this work offers innovative insights into the applicability of the as-prepared SrWO4 bifunctional catalyst as an excellent functional material for the remediation of emerging pollutants in water bodies with a recovery range of 98.2–99.75%.

Schiff base synthesized from 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 2-2’ (ethylene dioxy) bis ethylenediamine (L1) and its Metal complexes, [M (II) (L)6](where M= Mn(II), Ru(III), Cu(II)and V(V) L= Schiff base moiety), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic measurements (infrared, electronic spectroscopy, 1H-NMR, EPR and Mass spectroscopy ). Elemental analysis of the metal complexes was suggested that the stoichiometry ratio is 1:1 (metal-ligand). The electronic spectra suggest an octahedral geometry for MC1and MC2 Schiff base complexes and distorted octahedral for MC3 and MC4 complexes. The Schiff base and its metal chelates have been screened for their invitro test antibacterial activity against three bacteria, gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Klebsiella pheneuammonia and Salmonella typhi). Two strains of fungus (Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans). The metal chelates were shown to possess more anti fungal activity compare then antibacterial activity and antioxidant properties. The complexes are highly active than the free Schiff-base ligand.
